Today as we continue to explore Shelley’s life in music, we feature a conversation about Sam Cooke, one of Shelley’s dear friends.
In fact, Shelley was so close to him that Sam was the godfather to one of his children.
Aside from being a very good friend, Sam and Shelley shared the same mission: to use the power of music to bring people together. They both played to integrated audiences at a time when that was not acceptable. In fact, it could be dangerous to do that.
Sam was a trailblazer not only with his music, but his approach. He believed the artist should own the rights to their music so he was one of the first to write, produce and distribute his own music.
Sam’s life ended tragically before his time in 1964 when he was shot at a hotel in Los Angeles.
